PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

General

Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P. (the "Partnership")
is a
Georgia public limited partnership having Leo F. Wells, III
and
Wells Capital, Inc., a Georgia corporation, as General
Partners.
The Partnership was formed on July 31, 1988, for the purpose
of
acquiring, developing, constructing, owning,
operating,
improving, leasing and otherwise managing for
investment
purposes income-producing commercial or industrial
properties.

On October 24, 1988, the Partnership commenced a public
offering
of its limited partnership units pursuant to a
Registration
Statement filed on Form S-11 under the Securities Act of
1933.
The Partnership terminated its offering on October 23, 1990,
and
received gross proceeds of $22,206,319
representing
subscriptions from 2,700 Limited Partners, composed of
two
classes of limited partnership interests, Class A and
Class B
limited partnership units.

As of December 31, 1995, the Partnership owned interests in
the
following properties: (i) the Greenville Property, an
office
building in Greenville, North Carolina, (ii) the Atrium,
an
office building in Houston, Texas, (iii) the Brookwood
Grill, a
restaurant located in Roswell, Georgia, (iv) the
Stockbridge
Village Shopping Center, a retail shopping center located
in
Stockbridge, Georgia, southeast of Atlanta, (v) the G.E.
Office
Building located in Richmond, Virginia, and (vi)
an
office/retail center currently being developed in
Roswell,
Georgia. All of the foregoing properties were acquired on
an
all cash basis and are described in more detail in Item 2
below.
The lease on the Atrium Building in Houston, which
contributes
to the revenue of the Partnership, will expire in June,
1996.
If the Partnership is unable to obtain a new tenant, the
income
generated to the Partnership may decrease. See the
detail
discussion in Item 2.

Employees

The Partnership has no direct employees. The employees of
Wells
Capital, Inc., a General Partner of the Partnership
perform a
full range of real estate services including leasing
and
property management, accounting, asset management and
investor
relations for the Partnership. See Item 11 - compensation
of
General Partners and Affiliates for a summary of
the
compensation and fees paid to the General Partners and
their
affiliates during the fiscal year ended December 31, 1995.

Insurance

Wells Management Company, Inc., an affiliate of the
General
Partner, carries comprehensive liability and extended
coverage
with respect to all the properties owned directly or
indirectly
by the Partnership. In the opinion of management of
the
registrant, the properties are adequately
insured.
Competition

The Partnership will experience competition for tenants
from
owners and managers of competing projects which may include
the
General Partners and their affiliates. As a result,
the
Partnership may be required to provide free rent,
reduced
charges for tenant improvements and other inducements, all
of
which may have an adverse impact on results of operations.
At
the time the Partnership elects to dispose of its
properties,
the Partnership will also be in competition with sellers
of
similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for
its
properties.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

The Partnership owns six properties directly or through
its
ownership in joint ventures of which three are office
buildings,
one a restaurant, one a retail building and one a
retail/office
project under construction. The Partnership does not
have
control over the operations of the joint ventures; however,
it
does exercise significant influence. Accordingly,
investment in
joint ventures is recorded on the equity method. As of
December
31, 1995, these properties were 97.25% occupied, down from
99.4%
at December 31, 1994, 98.6% at December 31, 1993, 98.67%
at
December 31, 1992, and up from 84.12% at December 31, 1991.

The following table shows lease expirations during
each of
the next ten years for all leases as of December 31,
1995,
assuming no exercise of renewal options or termination
rights:

The following describes the properties in which the
Partnership
owns an interest as of December 31, 1995:

The Greenville Property

On June 30, 1990, the Partnership acquired a 2.34 acre
tract of
land located in Greenville, North Carolina (the
"Greenville
Property") for a purchase price of the land of
$576,350,
including acquisition expenses for the purpose of
developing,
constructing and operating a two-story office
building
containing approximately 34,300 rentable square feet.

The occupancy rate at the Greenville Property was 100% in
1995,
100% in 1994, 95% in 1993, 94% in 1992, and 67% in 1991.

The average effective annual rental per square foot at
the
Greenville Property was $17.01 for 1995, $16.73 for 1994,
$16.74
for 1993, $14.91 for 1992 and $9.75 for 1991.

Two tenants occupy ten percent or more of the rentable
square
footage - International Business Machines Corporation
("IBM"), a
business machine corporation and Team YASNY (McDonald's) a
fast-
food restaurant chain.

The Partnership entered into a net lease with IBM for a
portion
of the first floor and the entire second floor of the
Greenville
Property representing approximately 23,300 rentable square
feet
or approximately 67% of the Greenville Project. The
initial
term of the IBM lease is nine years and ten months and
commenced
in April of 1991. IBM has the option to extend the initial
term
of the lease for two consecutive five-year periods. The
annual
base rent payable under the IBM lease is $462,242, net of
all
expenses of operation, and is payable in monthly
installments of
$38,520.17. The annual base rent will increase in the
sixth
year of the initial term of the lease to $478,101 payable
in
equal monthly installments of $39,841.75 and will
remain
constant for each of the subsequent years in the initial
term of
the lease. In addition to the base rent, IBM is required to
pay
additional rent equal to its share of all operating
expenses
during the lease term.

The lease provides IBM with the right of first refusal
to
purchase the Greenville Project should the Partnership
receive a
bona fide offer from the third party to purchase the
Greenville
Project during the term of the lease. IBM also has the
right of
first refusal to lease all or a portion of any space which
may
from time to time become available. In addition, on April
15,
1996, five years after the commencement date of the lease,
IBM
is entitled to lease approximately 5,000 additional
rentable
square feet designated by the Partnership. Such space will
be
contiguous to the initial space taken by IBM under its
lease.
The IBM lease also provides that the Partnership will not
lease
or consent to any sublease to any entity which, as a major
part
of its business engages in sales and services similar to
those
of IBM.

Team YASNY's original lease represented 3,122 rentable
square
feet. In 1994, Team YASNY expanded and increased their
rentable
space on additional 1,232 square feet for a total of
4,354
rentable square feet. The Team YASNY lease calls for an
annual
rent of $50,150 in 1995, $51,717 in 1996, and $53,200 in
1997.
The Team YASNY lease expires September 30, 1997.

Fund II and Fund III Joint Venture

On April 3, 1989, the Partnership formed a joint venture,
Fund
II and Fund III Associates (the "Fund II-Fund III
Joint
Venture") with an existing joint venture (the "Fund II-Fund
II-
OW Joint Venture") formed by Wells Real Estate Fund II
("Wells
Fund II"), a Georgia public limited partnership having Leo
F.
Wells, III and Wells Capital, Inc., a Georgia corporation
as
General Partners; and Wells Real Estate Fund II-OW ("Wells
Fund
II-OW"), a Georgia public limited partnership having Leo
F.
Wells, III and Wells Capital, Inc., a Georgia corporation
as
General Partners; Wells Fund II and Wells Fund II-OW
are
affiliated with the Partnership through common general
partners
with investment objectives substantially identical to those
of
the Partnership. The Partnership owns interests in
the
following two properties through the Fund II-Fund III
Joint
Venture:

The Atrium

In April 1989, the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture
acquired a
four-story office building located on a 5.6 acre tract of
land
adjacent to the Johnson Space Center in metropolitan
Houston, in
Nassau Bay, Harris County, Texas, known as "The Atrium at
Nassau
Bay" (the "Atrium").

The funds used by the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture to
acquire
the Atrium were derived from capital contributions made to
the
Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture by the Fund II-Fund II-OW
Joint
Venture and the Partnership in the amounts of $8,327,856
and
$2,538,000, respectively, for total initial
capital
contributions of $10,865,856. As of December 31, 1995, the
Fund
II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture and the Partnership had made
total
capital contributions to the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture
of
approximately $8,330,000 and $4,448,000, respectively, for
the
acquisition and development of the Atrium. The Fund II -
Fund
II-OW Joint Venture holds an approximately 66% equity
interest
in the Fund II - Fund III Joint Venture, and the
Partnership
holds approximately 34% equity interest in the Fund II -
Fund
III Joint Venture.

The Atrium was first occupied in 1987 and contains
approximately
119,000 net rentable square feet. Each floor of the Atrium
is
currently under a separate lease to Lockheed Engineering
and
Science Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Lockheed
Company, each of which leases have terms of approximately
eight
years and expire on June 30, 1996. The leases do not
contain
any provisions for extension. The Fund II-Fund III
Joint
Venture is responsible for operating expenses of up to $4.50
per
square foot for the first four years and $4.75 per square
foot
thereafter. The tenant under each lease is required to
pay
certain operating expenses including expenses relating to
its
share of the building in excess of $4.50 per square foot
paid by
the Joint Venture for the first four lease years and $4.75
per
square foot for the remaining term. Under the terms of each
of
the leases, the tenant is responsible for all maintenance
and
repair work, as well as all utilities, taxes, insurance
and
similar expenses with respect to the Atrium in excess of
the
amounts specified above. The leases for each of the four
floors
of the building are identical, except as to their base
monthly
rentals. The leases for the Atrium currently provide
for a
monthly base rent of $185,298 until the expiration of said
lease
in June 1996.

The occupancy rate at the Atrium Property was 100% and
the
average effective annual rental per square foot was $17.47
for
the five years ended December 31, 1995.

The Lockheed lease will expire on June 30, 1996, and renewal
is
not expected at this time. The Partnership has responded
to
various potential tenants regarding their leasing portions
of
the Atrium should Lockheed not renew. In the event
that
Lockheed does not renew its lease and the Partnership is
unable
to lease a substantial portion of the Atrium Property at
rates
at least comparable to the lease rates currently being
paid
under the Lockheed lease, the income generated from the
Atrium
Property could decrease significantly. In addition, even if
the
Partnership is able to obtain leases with new tenants for
the
Lockheed Project, such leases are likely to require
substantial
tenant finish and refurbishment expenditures by the
Partnership,
which could have the effect of substantially reducing
future
cash distributions to Limited Partners in the year tenants
are
acquired.

The Brookwood Grill Property

On January 31, 1990, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint
Venture
acquired a 5.8 acre tract of undeveloped real property at
the
intersection of Warsaw Road and Holcomb Bridge Road in
Roswell,
Fulton County, Georgia (the "880 Property"). The Fund II-
Fund
II-OW Joint Venture paid $1,848,561, including
acquisition
expenses, for the 5.8 acre tract of undeveloped property.

On September 20, 1991, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint
Venture
contributed the 880 Property, along with its interest
as
landlord under the lease agreement referred to below,
as a
capital contribution to the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture.
As
of September 20, 1991, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture
had
expended approximately $2,128,000 for the land acquisition
and
development of the 880 Property.

As of September 20, 1991, a lease agreement was entered
into
with the Brookwood Grill of Roswell, Inc. for the
development of
approximately 1.5 acres and the construction of a 7,440
square
foot restaurant. This site, which opened early March 1992,
is
the second location in the Atlanta area for what is
anticipated
as a southeastern chain of restaurants similar in concept
to
Houston's, Ruby Tuesday, and Friday's. This chain
is
principally owned by David Rowe, an Atlanta real
estate
developer of Kroger shopping centers, and several
operating
partners formerly with Houston's. The terms of the lease
call
for an initial term of 9 years and 11 months, with
two
additional 10-year option periods. The agreement calls
for a
base rental of $217,006 per year for Years 1 through 5,
with a
15% increase for the remainder of the initial term.
Rental
rates for all option periods will be based on the
prevailing
market values and rates for those periods. Under the terms
of
the lease, the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture was required
to
make certain improvements for the development and
construction
of the restaurant building together with parking
areas,
driveways, landscaping and other improvements as agreed
The
Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture has expended
approximately
$1,100,000 for such improvements. In addition to the base
rent
described above, the tenant is required to pay "additional
rent"
in amounts equal to a 12% per annum return on all
amounts
expended for such improvements.

The occupancy rate for the Brookwood Grill, a sole tenant,
was
100% for 1995, 1994, 1993 and 1992. The average
effective
annual rental per square foot at the Brookwood Grill is
$30.21
for 1995, $30.21 for 1994 and 1993, and $24.60 for 1992,
the
first year of occupancy.

As of December 31, 1995, the Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint
Venture
and the Partnership had made total contributions to the Fund
II-
Fund III Joint Venture of approximately $2,128,000
and
$1,330,000, respectively, for the acquisition and
development of
the Brookwood Grill. The Fund II-Fund II-OW Joint Venture
holds
an approximately 62% equity interest in the Brookwood
Grill
property, and the Partnership holds an approximately 38%
equity
interest in the project.

On January 10, 1995, the remaining 4.3 acres of land
comprising
the 880 Property was contributed to a new joint venture,
Fund
II, III, VI and VII Associates by Fund II-Fund III
Joint
Venture. This property is described below.

Fund II, III, VI and VIII Associates/Holcomb Bridge
Road
Property.

On January 10, 1995, Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture; Wells
Real
Estate Fund VI, L.P. ("Wells Fund VI"), a Georgia public
limited
partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners,
L.P., a
Georgia limited partnership, as general partners; and Wells
Real
Estate Fund VII, L.P. ("Wells Fund VII"), a Georgia
public
limited partnership having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells
Partners,
L.P., a Georgia limited partnership, as general
partners,
entered into a Joint Venture Agreement known as Fund II,
III, VI
and VII Associates ("Fund II, III, VI and VII Joint
Venture").
Wells Partners, L.P. is a private limited partnership
having
Wells Capital, Inc., a General Partner of the Partnership,
as
its sole general partner. The investment objectives of
Wells
Fund VI and Wells Fund VII are substantially identical to
those
of the Partnership.

In January, 1995, the Fund II-Fund III Joint Venture
contributed
approximately 4.3 acres of land at the intersection of
Warsaw
Road and Holcomb Bridge Road in Roswell, Fulton County,
Georgia
(the Holcomb Bridge Road Property) including land
improvements
with a book value of $1,729,116 to the Fund II, III, VI and
VII
Joint Venture. Development is underway on two
buildings
containing a total of approximately 48,000 square feet;
26,000
square feet to be developed as office space and 22,000
square
feet to be developed as retail space. As of December 31,
1995,
leases were signed with Bertucci's Restaurant Corporation
for
5,935 square feet, Air Touch Cellular for 3,046 square feet
and
Townsend Tax for 1,389 square feet. Initial occupancy
occurred
in February 1996.

As of December 31, 1995, Fund II - Fund III Joint Venture
had
contributed $1,729,116 in land and improvements for
an
approximate 33% equity interest, Wells Fund VI had
contributed
$982,691 toward the construction for an approximate 19%
equity
interest, and Wells Fund VII had contributed $2,500,000 for
an
approximate 48% equity interest. As of December 31, 1995,
the
Partnership held an approximate 12% equity interest in the
Fund
II, III, VI, and VII Joint Venture. The total cost to
develop
the Holcomb Bridge Road Property, excluding land, is
currently
estimated to be approximately $4,000,000, and it is
anticipated
that the remaining approximate $517,000 will be
contributed
$260,000 by Wells Fund VI and $257,000 by Wells Fund VII.
The
Partnership is not obligated to provide any additional
funding
on the Holcomb Bridge Property.




Fund III and Fund IV Joint Venture

On March 27, 1991, the Partnership and Wells Real Estate
Fund
IV, L.P. ("Wells Fund IV"), a Georgia public limited
partnership
having Leo F. Wells, III and Wells Partners, L.P. as
General
Partners, entered into a Joint Venture Agreement known as
Fund
III and Fund VI Associates (the "Fund III - Fund IV
Joint
Venture"). As set forth above, Wells Partners, L.P.
is a
private limited partnership having Wells Capital,
Inc., a
General Partner of the Partnership, as its sold general
partner.
The investment objectives of Wells Fund IV are
substantially
identical to those of the Partnership. The Partnership
holds an
approximate 57.3% equity interest in the Fund III-Fund IV
Joint
Venture which owns and operates the multi-tenant retail
center
and an office building described below. As of December
31,
1995, the Partnership had contributed $8,119,603 and Wells
Fund

during the fourth quarter of 1995.


PART II

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR PARTNERSHIP'S UNITS AND RELATED
SECURITY
HOLDER MATTERS.

As of February 28, 1996, the Partnership had
19,635,965
outstanding Class A Units held by a total of 2,338
Limited
Partners and 2,544,540 outstanding Class B Units held by a
total
of 206 Limited Partners. The capital contribution per unit
is
$1.00. There is no established public trading market for
the
Partnership's limited partnership units, and it is
not
anticipated that a public trading market for the units
will
develop. Under the Partnership Agreement, the General
Partners
have the right to prohibit transfers of units.

Class A Unit holders are entitled to an annual 8% non-
cumulative
distribution preference over Class B Unit holders as
to
distributions from Net Cash From Operations, as defined in
the
Partnership Agreement to mean Cash Flow, less adequate
cash
reserves for other obligations of the Partnership for
which
there is no provision, but are initially allocated none of
the
depreciation, amortization, cost recovery and interest
expense.
These items are allocated to Class B Unit holders until
their
capital account balances have been reduced to zero.

Net Cash From Operations to the Limited Partners is
distributed
on a quarterly basis unless Limited Partners elect to have
their

The fourth quarter distribution was accrued for
accounting
purposes in 1995, and was not actually paid to the
Limited
Partners holding Class A and Class B units until February
1996.
The General Partners anticipate that cash distributions
to
Limited Partners holding Class A units will continue in 1996
at
a level at least comparable with 1995 cash
distributions;
however, there is no guarantee of this.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL
CONDITIONS AND RESULTS OF OPERATION.

The following discussion and analysis should be read
in
conjunction with the Selected Financial Data and
the
accompanying financial statements of the Partnership and
notes
thereto. This Report contains forward-looking
statements,
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of
1933
and 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
including
discussion and analysis of the financial condition of
the
Partnership, anticipated capital expenditures required
to
complete certain projects, amounts of cash
distributions
anticipated to be distributed to Limited Partners in the
future
and certain other matters. Readers of this Report should
be
aware that there are various factors that could cause
actual
results to differ materially from any forward-looking
statement
made in this Report, which include construction costs which
may
exceed estimates, construction delays, lease-up risks,
inability
to obtain new tenants upon the expiration of existing
leases,
and the potential need to fund tenant improvements or
other
capital expenditures out of operating cash flow.

Results of Operations and Changes in Financial Conditions

General

Gross revenues of the Partnership were $1,587,267 for the
fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995, as compared to $1,572,895 for
the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, and $1,528,968 for
the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1993. The increase for 1995
over
1994 was due primarily to increase rental income at
the
Greenville Property due primarily to a full year of rent
from
the expansion of Team YASNY in late 1994. The increase for
1994
over 1993 was due primarily to increased income from
joint
ventures due to increased rental revenues.

Expenses of the Partnership remained relatively stable for
the
three year period and were $443,563 for the fiscal year
ended
December 31, 1995, $442,431 for the fiscal year ended
December
31, 1994 and $441,331 for the fiscal year ended December
31,
1993. In 1995, the increase in depreciation was offset
by a
decrease in operating expenses. Depreciation expense
increased
from 1994 to 1995 due to a change in the estimated useful
lives
of buildings and improvements from 40 years to 25 years.
For
further discussion of depreciation expense, please refer to
the
notes to the accompanying financial statements.

Net income of the Partnership was $1,143,704 for the fiscal
year
ended December 31, 1995, as compared to $1,130,464 for
the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, and $1,087,637 for
the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1993. The increase in net
income
for 1995 over 1994 is due primarily to increased rental
revenues
and for 1994 over 1993 is due primarily to increased income
from
joint ventures as noted above.

The Partnership's cash distributions to the Limited
Partners
holding Class A Units were $0.08 per unit for each of the
fiscal
year ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993. Cash
distributions
to the Limited Partners holding Class B Units were $0.08
per
unit for fiscal year ended December 31, 1995 and $0.02 per
unit
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.
These
distributions were a return of capital for the Class
B
Investors. No cash distributions were made to the
Limited
Partners holding Class B Units for the fiscal year
ended
December 31, 1993. The General Partners of the
Partnership
received cash distributions of $15,205 for the fiscal year
ended
December 31, 1995 since both Class A and Class B unit
holders
received the maximum of 8% per annum cash
distribution.
Distributions accrued for the fourth quarter of 1995,
which
include total distributions to Class B unit holders and
the
General Partners, were paid in February, 1996.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No.
121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-
Lived Assets to Be Disposed of", which is effective for
fiscal
years beginning after December 15, 1995. SFAS No.
121
establishes standards for determining when impairment losses
on
long-lived assets have occurred and how impairment losses
should
be measured. The joint ventures adopted SFAS No. 121,
effective
January 1, 1995. The impact of adopting SFAS No. 121 was
not
material to the financial statements of the joint ventures.

Rental income remained stable from 1993 to 1994 and
increased
from $573,942 for 1994 to $581,016 for 1995 due primarily
to a
full year of rent from the expansion of Team YASNY from
3,122
sq. ft. to 4,354 sq. ft. in late 1994. Expenses of
the
Greenville Property remained relatively stable for the
three
year period. In 1995, the increase in depreciation expense
due
to the change in the estimated useful lives of buildings
and
improvements as previously discussed under the "General"
section
of "Results of Operations and Changes in Financial
Conditions"
was offset by a decrease in other operating expenses.

The real estate taxes were $27,692 for 1995 and 1994,
and
$28,257 for 1993.

Revenues, expenses and net income have remained
relatively
stable for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993.
In
1995, the increase in depreciation expense due to the change
in
the estimated useful lives of buildings and improvements
as
previously discussed under the "General" section of "Results
of
Operations and Change in Financial Conditions" was offset
by a
decrease in other operating expenses. There were no
significant
decreases in any specific area of operating expenses.

The real estate taxes were $182,687 for 1995, $186,273 for
1994
and $232,609 for 1993.

The lease with Lockheed Company will expire on June 30,
1996,
and renewal is not anticipated at this time. The
Partnership
has responded to various potential tenants regarding
leasing
portions of the Atrium should Lockheed not renew. In the
event
that Lockheed does not renew its lease and the Partnership
is
unable to lease a substantial portion of the Atrium Property
at
rates at least comparable to the lease rates currently
being
paid under the Lockheed lease, the income generated from
the
Atrium Property could decrease significantly. In addition,
even
if the Partnership is able to obtain leases with new tenants
for
the Lockheed Project, such leases are likely to
require
substantial tenant finish and refurbishment expenditures by
the
Partnership, which could have the effect of
substantially
reducing future cash distributions to Limited Partners in
the
year tenants are acquired.

the
property may be subject, see Item 1, Business, page 2.

Rental income decreased to $1,148,600 for 1995 as compared
to
$1,158,963 in 1994 due to decreased occupancy resulting from
the
early termination of a lease for 8,025 square feet.
Rental
income increased to $1,158,963 for 1994 as compared
to
$1,031,545 in 1993 due to the development of a free
standing
building and increased occupancy at the property. Expenses
of
the property remained relatively stable for 1994 as compared
to
1993 but increased from $427,846 in 1994 to $455,987 in 1995
due
primarily to the increase in depreciation expense as a
result of
the change in the estimated useful lives of buildings
and
improvements as previously discussed under the "General"
section
of "Results of Operations and Change in Financial
Conditions".
Net income of the property increased to $740,795 in 1994
as
compared to $612,852 in 1993 due to increased occupancy,
as
discussed above, and decreased to $708,095 in 1995 as
compared
to $740,795 in 1994 due to increased depreciation
expense
discussed above.

Real estate taxes were $120,899 for 1995, $130,364 for 1994,
and
$108,420 for 1993.

The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund III -
Fund IV
Joint Venture decreased to 57.3% for 1995 and 1994 as
compared
to 58.5% in 1993 due to the additional investment by Wells
Fund
IV in the Joint Venture in 1994.

Rental income remained constant for 1995, 1994, and 1993.
Total
expenses decreased to $181,861 in 1995 from $202,355 in 1994
and
$220,813 in 1993. In 1995, the increase in depreciation
expense
due to the change in the estimated useful lives of buildings
and
improvements as previously discussed under the "General"
section
of "Results of Operations and Change in Financial
Conditions"
was offset by a decrease in other operating expenses as
compared
to 1994 and 1993 which was primarily the result of
decreased
legal fees following settlement of the Thalhimer suit
described
below. Total expenses of $220,813 in 1993 were higher
than
total expenses of $202,355 in 1994 due to management and
leasing
fees.

On May 10, 1993, the leasing agent, Morton G. Thalhimer,
Inc.,
filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern
District
of Virginia, Richmond, Virginia, against the Partnership,
Wells
Fund IV and the General Partners for leasing commissions
due
over the original term of the G.E. lease (excluding
renewals)
estimated to be approximately $163,500. G.E. and the seller
of
the property were named as third party defendants in the
suit
alleging that they were the parties who should be
financially
responsible for these leasing commissions. Pursuant to
the
Settlement Agreement entered into with Thalhimer, commencing
in
January, 1994, and during each month thereafter, Thalhimer
is
only entitled to three percent (3%) of the monthly
rent
(exclusive of operating costs reimbursements, real estate
tax
and insurance pass-throughs and similar items) received by
the
landlord under the G.E. Lease (including any renewals
or
extensions of the lease or taking of additional space),
and
except as set forth in the Settlement Agreement, the
Landlord
(the Fund III-Fund IV Joint Venture) has no further
obligation
to Thalhimer or its successors or assigns under the Lease:
G.E.
has assumed 1 1/2% of the 3% and the Fund III-Fund IV
Joint
Venture has assumed the remaining 1 1/2% of the total 3%.
Due to decreased expenses in 1995 as compared to 1994 and
in
1994 as compared to 1993, net income increased to $345,564
for
1995, as compared to $325,564 in 1994 and $306,612 in 1993.

The Partnership's ownership percentage in the Fund III -
Fund IV
Joint Venture decreased to 57.3% for 1995 and 1994 as
compared
to 58.5% in 1993 due to the additional investment by Wells
Fund
IV in the Joint Venture in 1994 to fund further development
of
the Stockbridge Village Shopping Center.

Under the terms of the lease, G.E. pays the real estate
taxes
directly.

For comments on the general conditions to which the property
may
be subject, see Item 1, Business, page 2. For
additional
information on the property, tenants, etc., see Item
2,
Properties, page 3.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During its offering, which terminated on October 23, 1990,
the
Partnership raised a total of $22,206,319 in capital through
the
sale of 22,206,310 units. No additional units will be sold
by
the Partnership. From the original funds raised,
the
Partnership has invested a total of $17,765,137 in
properties,
paid $1,554,442 in acquisition and advisory fees, $2,664,668
in
selling commissions and organization and offering expenses,
and
is maintaining a working capital reserve of $222,072.

Since the Partnership is an investment partnership formed
for
the purpose of acquiring, owning and operating income-
producing
real property and has invested all of its funds available
for
investment, it is highly unlikely that the Partnership
will
acquire interests in any additional properties, and
the
Partnership's capital resources are anticipated to
remain
relatively stable over the holding period of its
investments.

The Partnership is required to maintain working capital
reserves
in an amount equal to the cash operating expenses estimated
to
be required to operate the Partnership for a six month
period,
not to exceed 3% or be reduced below 1% of offering
proceeds
available for investment in properties. The General
Partners
believe such working capital reserves will be adequate.

The Partnership's net cash provided by operating
activities
remained relatively stable for 1993 and 1994 but increased
in
1995 to $182,077 from $57,271 in 1994 due to an increase in
net
income, distributions received from joint ventures, and
accounts
receivables. Net cash used in investing activities
decreased to
zero in 1995 due to all funds available for investing
having
been invested in prior years. Cash and cash
equivalents
remained relatively stable for the years ending December
31,
1995, 1994, and 1993. The Partnership distributes
cash
available less reserves, and as a result, the level of
cash
remains stable.

The Partnership's distributions paid and payable through
the
fourth quarter of 1995 have been paid from Net Cash
from
Operations and from distributions received from its
equity
investment in joint ventures and the Partnership
anticipates
that distributions will continue to be paid on a quarterly
basis
from such sources. The Partnership expects to meet
liquidity,
and budget demands through cash flow from operations.

The Partnership is unaware of any demands, commitments,
events
or capital expenditures other than that which is required
for
the normal operations of its properties that will result in
the
Partnership's liquidity increasing or decreasing in any
material
way. The Partnership is not obligated to provide any
additional
funding on the Holcomb Bridge Road Property. Additional
funding
for the Holcomb Bridge Road Property is anticipated to
be
provided by capital contributions from Wells Fund VI and
Wells
Fund VII, which have reserved sufficient capital for
this
purpose.

Inflation

Real Estate has not been affected significantly by inflation
in
the past three years due to the relatively low inflation
rate.
There are provisions in the majority of tenant leases
executed
by the Partnership to protect the Partnership from the
impact of
inflation. These leases contain common area maintenance
charges
(CAM charges), real estate tax and insurance reimbursements
on a
per square foot basis, or in some cases, annual
reimbursements
of operating expenses above a certain per square foot
allowance.
These provisions reduce the Partnership's exposure to
increases
in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.
In
addition, a number of the Partnership's leases are for terms
of
less than five years which may permit the Partnership to
replace
existing leases with new leases at higher base rental rates
if
the existing leases are below market rate. There is
no
assurance, however, that the Partnership would be able
to
replace existing leases with new leases at higher base
rentals.

The financial statements of the Registrant and
supplementary
data are detailed under Item 14(a) and filed as part of

report on the pages indicated.





ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS
ON
ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE.

The Partnership's change in accountants during 1995
was
previously reported in the Partnership's Form 8-K
dated
September 11, 1995. There were no disagreements with
the
Partnership's accountants or other reportable events
during

Together With
Auditors' Report


REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS




To the Partners of
Wells Real Estate Fund III,
L.P.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WELLS
REAL ESTATE FUND III, L.P. (a Georgia public limited
partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and the related
statements of income, partners' capital, and cash flows
for the year then ended. These financial statements
and the schedule referred to below are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements and schedule based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements and
schedule are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements. An audit also includes assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P.
as of December 31, 1995 and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the year then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

Our audit was made for the purpose of forming an
opinion on the basic financial statements taken as a
whole. Schedule III--Real Estate Investments and
Accumulated Depreciation for the year ended
December 31, 1995 is presented for purposes of
complying with the Securities and Exchange Commission's
rules and is not part of the basic financial
statements. This schedule has been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states
in all material respects the financial data required to
be set forth therein in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.




Atlanta, Georgia
January 12, 1996

WELLS REAL ESTATE FUND III, L.P.

(A GEORGIA PUBLIC LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)


NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 1995, 1994, AND 1993

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Business

Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P. (the
"Partnership") is a public limited partnership
organized on July 31, 1988, under the laws of the
state of Georgia. The general partners are Leo F.
Wells III and Wells Capital, Inc. (the "Company").
The Partnership has two classes of limited
partnership interests, Class A and Class B units.
Limited partners owning a majority of the units may
vote to, among other things, (a) amend the
partnership agreement, subject to certain
limitations, (b) change the business purpose or
investment objectives of the Partnership, and
(c) remove a general partner. Each limited
partnership unit has equal voting rights,
regardless of class.

The Partnership was formed to acquire and operate
commercial real properties, including properties
which are either to be developed, currently under
development or construction, newly constructed, or
have operating histories. The Partnership owns an
office building in Greenville, North Carolina,
directly. In addition, the Partnership owns an
interest in the following properties through joint
ventures between the Partnership and other Wells
Real Estate funds: (i) The Atrium, an office
building in Houston, Texas, (ii) the Brookwood
Grill, a restaurant located in Roswell, Georgia,
(iii) the Stockbridge Village Shopping Center, a
retail shopping center located in Stockbridge,
Georgia, southeast of Atlanta, Georgia, (iv) the
G.E. Lighting National Customer Center, a two-story
office building located in Richmond, Virginia, and
(v) an office/retail center currently being
developed in Roswell, Georgia (Note 3).1

Use of Estimates and Factors Affecting the
Partnership

The preparation of financial statements in
conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

One significant tenant contributed approximately
22% of rental income to the Partnership for the
year ended December 31, 1995. This tenant's lease
expires in June 1996. In the event that the
Partnership is unable to lease a substantial
portion of The Atrium at lease rates at least
comparable to the lease rates being paid under the
current lease, the income generated from The Atrium
could decrease significantly following the
expiration of the lease. In addition, even if the
Partnership is able to obtain leases with new
tenants for The Atrium, such leases are likely to
require substantial tenant finish and refurbishment
expenditures by the Partnership, which could have
the effect of substantially reducing future cash
distributions to the partners.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is not subject to federal or state
income taxes, and therefore, none have been
provided for in the accompanying financial
statements. The partners are required to include
their respective share of profits and losses in
their individual income tax returns.

Distribution of Net Cash From Operations

Cash available for distribution is distributed on a
cumulative noncompounded basis to limited partners
quarterly. In accordance with the partnership
agreement, distributions first are paid to limited
partners holding Class A units until they have
received an 8% return on their adjusted capital
contributions, as defined. Cash available for
distribution is then distributed to limited
partners holding Class B units until they have
received an 8% return on their adjusted capital
contributions, as defined.

Distribution of Sales Proceeds

Upon sales of properties, the net sales proceeds
are distributed in the following order:

To limited partners until all limited
partners have received 100% of their
adjusted capital contributions, as defined

To limited partners holding Class B units
until they receive an amount equal to the
net cash available for distribution received
by the limited partners holding Class A
units

To all limited partners until they receive a
cumulative 12% per annum return on their
adjusted capital contributions, as defined

To all limited partners until they receive
an amount equal to their respective
cumulative distributions

To all the general partners until they have
received 100% of their capital contributions

Thereafter, 80% to the limited partners and
20% to the general partners

Allocation of Net Income, Net Loss, and Gain on Sale

Net income, as defined, of the Partnership will be
allocated each year in the same proportions that
net cash from operations is distributed to the
partners. To the extent the Partnership's net
income in any year exceeds net cash from
operations, it will be allocated 99% to the limited
partners and 1% to the general partners.

Net loss, depreciation, amortization, and cost
recovery deductions for each fiscal year will be
allocated as follows: (a) 99% to the limited
partners holding Class B units and 1% to the
general partners until their capital accounts are
reduced to zero, (b) then to any partner having a
positive balance in his capital account in an
amount not to exceed such positive balance, and
(c) thereafter to the general partners.

Gain on the sale or exchange of the Partnership's
properties will be allocated generally in the same
manner that the net proceeds from such sale are
distributed to partners after the following
allocations are made, if applicable,
(a) allocations made pursuant to a qualified income
offset provision in the partnership agreement,
(b) allocations to partners having negative
accounts until all negative capital accounts have
been restored to zero; and (c) allocations to
Class B limited partners in amounts equal to
deductions for depreciation, amortization, and cost
recovery previously allocated to them with respect
to the specific partnership property sold, but not
in excess of the amount of gain on sale recognized
by the Partnership with respect to the sale of such
property.

Real Estate Assets

Real estate assets held by the Partnership directly
or through investments in affiliated joint ventures
are stated at the lower of depreciated cost or net
realizable value, which is calculated based upon
the sum of undiscounted estimated future cash flows
from each real estate project. Major improvements
and betterments are capitalized when they extend
the useful life of the related asset. All ordinary
repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards ("SFAS") No. 121 , "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to be Disposed Of," which is effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995.
SFAS No. 121 establishes standards for determining
when impairment losses on long-lived assets have
occurred and how impairment losses should be
measured. The Partnership and the entities in
which it holds a joint venture interest adopted
SFAS No. 121, effective January 1, 1995. The
impact of adopting SFAS No. 121 was not material to
the financial statements of the Partnership or its
affiliated joint ventures.

Management continually monitors events and changes
in circumstances that could indicate carrying
amounts of real estate assets may not be
recoverable. When events or changes in
circumstances are present that indicate the
carrying amount of real estate assets may not be
recoverable, management assesses the recoverability
of real estate assets under SFAS No. 121 by
determining whether the carrying value of such real
estate assets will be recovered through the future
cash flows expected from the use of the asset and
its eventual disposition. Management has
determined that there has been no impairment in the
carrying value of real estate assets held by the
Partnership or its affiliated joint ventures as of
December 31, 1995.

Depreciation for buildings and improvements is
calculated using the straight-line method over the
useful lives of the real estate assets. Effective
October 1, 1995, the Partnership and its affiliated
joint ventures revised their estimate of the useful
lives of buildings and improvements from 40 to 25
years. This change was made to better reflect the
estimated periods during which such assets will
remain in service. The change had the effect on
the Partnership, directly and through its ownership
interest in joint ventures, of increasing
depreciation expense approximately $61,167 in the
fourth quarter of 1995.

Revenue Recognition

All leases on real estate assets held by the
Partnership are classified as operating leases and
the related rental income is recognized on a
straight-line basis over the terms of the
respective leases.

Deferred Lease Acquisition Costs

Costs incurred to procure operating leases are
capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis
over the terms of the related lease.

Investment in Joint Ventures

The Partnership does not have control over the
operations of the joint ventures; however, it does
exercise significant influence. Accordingly,
investments in joint ventures are recorded using
the equity method of accounting. The joint
ventures follow the same significant accounting
policies as the Partnership. Cash is paid from the
joint ventures to the Partnership quarterly.

Cash available for distribution and allocations of
profit and loss to the Partnership by the joint

1994, respectively, as follows:

1995 1994

Fund III and IV Associates $197,113 $203,077
Fund II and III Associates--The Atrium 125,725
126,392
880 Property--Brookwood Grill13,378 23,035
$336,216 $352,504

The Partnership entered into a property management
agreement with Wells Management Company, Inc.
("Wells Management"), an affiliate of the general
partners. In consideration for supervising the
management of the Partnership's properties, the
Partnership will generally pay Wells Management
management and leasing fees equal to (a) 3% of the
gross revenues for management and 3% of the gross
revenues for leasing (aggregate maximum of 6%) plus
a separate fee for the one-time initial lease-up of
newly constructed properties in an amount not to
exceed the fee customarily charged in arm's-length
transactions by others rendering similar services
in the same geographic area for similar properties
or (b) in the case of commercial properties which
are leased on a long-term net basis (ten or more
years), 1% of the gross revenues except for initial
leasing fees equal to 3% of the gross revenues over
the first five years of the lease term.

The Partnership incurred, both directly and at the
joint venture level, management and leasing fees
and lease acquisition costs of $204,671, $201,112,
and $200,195 for the years ended December 31, 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively, which were paid to
Wells Management.

The Company performs certain administrative
services for the Partnership, such as accounting
and other partnership administration, and incurs
the related expenses. Such expenses are allocated
among the various Wells Real Estate funds based on
time spent on each fund by individual
administrative personnel. In the opinion of
management, such allocation is a reasonable
estimation of such expenses.

The general partners are also general partners of
other Wells Real Estate funds. As such, there may
exist conflicts of interest where the general
partners, while serving in the capacity as general
partners of other Wells Real Estate funds, may be
in competition with the Partnership for tenants in
similar geographic markets.

opinion on these financial statements and information
included in the financial statement schedule based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes
examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the
amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of Wells Real Estate Fund III, L.P.
as of December 31, 1994, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for the years ended

accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion,
the related information for 1994 and 1993 included in
